The mission of our youth program is to introduce young people to a personal faith in Jesus Christ. Realizing that life is a spiritual journey, we endeavor to support and empower our youth through activities and studies in the areas of Spirituality, Education, Fellowship, and Service to be witnesses in the body of Christ and throughout the world.

A variety of activities are offered to all youth in grades 6th through 12th. Sunday youth group includes dinner, activities/games, and a short bible study.

Our Youth Director

Hello All,

For
those of you who are attending the Confirmation Retreat please be here at the
church by 5:30pm on Friday, October 6th. You will need a sleeping
bag/ air mattress, pillow, toiletries, pj’s and a change of clothes. The Confirmation
Retreat is open for all those who have NOT yet been Confirmed. You must be in
the 8th grade thru 12th grade. Confirmation is the
sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to
Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying
on of hands by a bishop" (BCP, p. 860).

I am
truly thankful that everyone made it through Hurricane Irma. We need to
continue to liftup those who have been affected by Irma as well as those who
are still affected by Harvey. I am saddened that we missed our Rock the
Universe trip. All monies have been refunded into your youth accounts. I am
looking in to an event to make up for this one. Rock the Universe itself has
not been postponed and the event will happen again in 2018.

At the end of this month we are having our Halloween
Party. Friends and costumes are welcome. There will be a prize for best
costume! A signup sheet for our pot-luck dinner will be floating around all
month.

Now that we have passed the busyness of school starting
we will be gearing up for a busy 4th quarter. I can’t emphasize enough
how vital it is to write down all these important events that are coming up.
Our biggest Outreach Project, Angel Tree will be here before we know it. I am
looking to double our families this year. This means we will need a lot of hands
to shop and wrap the Angel Tree gifts.

I am still looking for Ushers this entire month at the
9am Service. If you are interested please let me know, no experience required! We
will have our youth meetings this month on Oct 8th, Oct 15th,
and Oct 22nd. I look forward to seeing you! Thanks for all you do.
